In regard to a rumor on the Internet that holders of the Macao Special Administrative Region Passport and holders of the Macao Special Administrative Region Travel Permit are granted visa-free access to the United States, the Identification Services Bureau has been confirmed by the Consulate General of the United States in Hong Kong that the relevant news is not genuine.  The immigration policy of the United States to the Macao Special Administrative Region remains unchanged. Currently, holders of the Macao Special Administrative Region Passport and holders of the Macao Special Administrative Region Travel Permit are still required to apply for relevant visas to enter the United States.
